Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I just booked my flight to Ontario, and I’m SO glad that I waited to book it. Instead of paying $675, I’m now paying $450 thanks to an awesome Sunwing promotion. :) I’ve never flown Sunwing before, and I heard that their customer service isn’t that great, and that their flights are sometimes late … but I figured I’d give them a try. They’re quite a bit cheaper than Westjet, afterall. So we’ll see what happens.

I can’t believe this week is almost over. It’s been a very relaxing time. I’ve been able to reflect over the past few months, and spent time with people who like me and care about me. This weekend I’m going camping with a bunch of friends. We leave tomorrow after a couple of the girls get off work. We’re disappointed that the weather isn’t going to be great, but that’s okay. We’ll have fun anyway. It’ll be a cheap way to spend the long weekend. Then, on Tuesday I start my new job. :) I’m very excited to get started. … Continue reading →

UGGG. I just found out that my orthotics that I got made up yesterday will not be eligible for coverage under my extended health plan. This is awful news.

Anonymous said… yes, your ex-boss will get what’s coming to him. probably a small handslap and a new title. in the meantime, he’ll badmouth you all over town. the more i read about this, the more i suspect that there is quite a bit you are not telling, and you are very good at playing the victim. given your overwhelming sense of self-entitlement (really, you blew your budget at the spa because you had a bad day at … Continue reading →

The past 2 days I’ve been keeping a journal of what I’m eating. I did the same thing a few summers ago when I wanted to lose weight. It makes me think a little harder about what I’m eating – is that food healthy? Am I actually hungry, or am I just bored? And I think it’s also going to help me save money. I’m going to think farther ahead – so if I’m out and about all day, maybe I’ll throw a water bottle and a few granola bars in my purse, so I don’t have to go out … Continue reading →
